Florida Heartland
By Jeff Rich
Artist: Brian McSwain
Project: The Florida Heartland
Description: In The Florida Heartland, Brian McSwain captures the backroads of a six-county region in south-central Florida, focusing on scenes and objects that are broken or abandoned: a deserted juice stand; a fractured statue; a tilted, net-less basketball goal.
